A Holliston man who was the target of a long-term undercover drug investigation sold as many as 700 Percocet pills a week in and around Holliston, authorities said.Alan B. Stone, 29, also sold oxycodone and heroin, according to a police report filed in Framingham District Court by Holliston Police.According to the report, police began investigating Stone, of 980 Highland St., in early 2012 after receiving several tips from people in town."The information I was receiving through a variety of sources … Alan B. Stone Jr., was selling between 500 and 700 Percocet pills per week in and around the Holliston area," Detective Charles Todd said in the report.Holliston Police, working with an undercover officer from the Massachusetts Law Enforcement Agency, bought drugs several times from Stone, paying $105 for three pills each time. Police also got word Stone sold drugs in Millis, the report said.At one point, Stone arranged to sell a gun to the undercover officer in Holliston, but the officer had to miss the appointment. Holliston Police arrested Stone on a warrant, but arranged for the undercover officer to call Stone to complain about him missing the appointment. The undercover officer then posted Stone’s $40 bail, the report said.In April 2013, the undercover officer again arranged to buy the gun from Stone, this time in Hopkinton. The officer gave Stone $350 and Stone left, allegedly to get the gun. Police followed him onto the Massachusetts Turnpike, but lost him in traffic. Stone never came back with the gun or the money, the report said.Beginning in October, Stone began using and selling heroin, the report said.Police summoned Stone to court and he was arraigned Thursday in Framingham District Court. Holliston Police charged Stone with distribution of Percocet, distribution of heroin, distribution of oxycodone, the illegal possession of Percocet, the illegal possession of oxycodone and possession of heroin.Hopkinton Police charged Stone with larceny of more than $250. The charge stems from the alleged April 2013 gun deal when he took the $350 and never returned.Stone pleaded not guilty in Framingham District Court on Thursday and was released without bail. He is due back in court on April 8 for a pretrial conference.Norman Miller can be reached at 508-626-3823 or nmiller@wickedlocal.com.
